NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, NTENT announced the expansion of its next generation semantic
search and natural language processing technologies to support the
Russian language, building upon its already powerful English language
capabilities.

More than half the world’s population speaks two or more languages. The
introduction of the Russian lexicon into NTENT’s ontology and semantic
processing capabilities transforms information discovery for over 171
million Russian speakers1, making it easier and faster for
them to discover the information they are seeking. This represents a
fundamental advancement in NTENT’s ability to organize concepts and
understand relationships of words, a key feature of the technology.

“The added ability to support Russian and the progression of our
semantic search capability is an important milestone for NTENT,” said
Dan Stickel, Chief Executive Officer of NTENT. “By applying the power of
our semantic and natural language processing technology to the Russian
language, we are able to rapidly identify and extract interconnections
between entities in an ever-expanding universe of digital data. To put
it into perspective, what used to take a single person hours of
searching through documents to find related information, now happens in
a fraction of a second. This is a major step forward for Russian
speakers wishing to easily expose relevant information.”

With NTENT, Russian speakers are able to extract information from
multiple sources (articles, images, documents), eliminating the need to
pinpoint exact keywords in order to find the information they want.
“We’ve built our ontology to be language independent giving us the
ability to identify definitions and interrelationships of entities
regardless of the language. This includes the ability to understand
taxonomic relationships that allow us to organize concepts. On top of
this ontology, we’ve layered in the Russian lexicon to be able to
process how a specific concept or entity is expressed in the Russian
language. The benefit? In a matter of seconds we can identify and
surface relevant content in Russian,” said Gerald Burnand, VP and Chief
Architect.

Present day search technology relies on keywords to find information but
the problem is that keywords are inherently ambiguous. Keyword search
cannot understand the difference between “Blue Moon” the beer and “blue
moon” the lunar cycle and they can’t link “like” words that have the
same meaning. This leads to instances of very broad results that may or
may not have anything to do with the user’s query. Powered with
proprietary technology that functions more like the human brain, NTENT
uses their patented semantic technology to understand the meaning of
words and how concepts relate to one another in a particular sentence
(or query) and then relates this back to decipher user intent in order
to return the very best answer.
